Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 10,263. Pfaff, R. April 27. Bottling. - Relates to machines for filling liquids into bottles, in which the delivery is performed through a series of separate independent delivery cocks, such cocks being in direct connexion with the liquor tank and each operated and controlled automatically, and separately, by means of air or other pressure supplied from a central valve, in a manner similar to that in which it is performed with filling - machines with other separate valves according to Specifications 4793/09 and d 4794/09. Pressure cylinders 6, Fig. 1, are interposed between the delivery cocks 10 and the central valve 2, which, in the present instance, serves solely to operate the cocks 10, but not to control the flow of the liquor. In each of the cylinders b is a spring-controlled plunger 8 connected by a link and a lever 12 to the rotary plug 9 of the cock 10. In the plug and its casing are a series of ports operated in succession, first for the supply of pressure gas to the bottles, and then for the supply of liquid and the passage of compressed air during filling. A by-pass 20 is provided extending from a passage 18 at the back of each piston 8 to the corresponding cock 10. In operation, the first movement of the plug 9 admits pressure gas to the bottle. Next the by-pass 20 is opened. Should a bottle be faulty or missing the pressure behind the piston 8 is reduced, the piston is. returned to normal position by the spring 19;' and the cock closes. In the normal operation of the machine, on the completion of the filling, the passage 18 is brought by the rotation of the machine opposite an exhaust outlet 14 in the central valve 2, resulting in the release of the piston and the closing of the delivery valve.
